#94 - Amelia Ropiak – 2023 – 5'7 – Pin Hitter – The Prairie School - Epic Ropiak is the leading attacker for the Hawks recording over 3 kills per set in 2020. This team has a solid sophomore duo making for a bright future for the program. Ropiak is a high-flying pin with a fast swing. #5 - Isabelle Shea – 2024 – DS/L – Oshkosh West – FC Elite 15 Navy Oshkosh West did not have a fall season, so we missed out seeing this little firecracker hit the high school volleyball scene. I absolutely love her hustle, and she gets so many amazing defensive touches. This is one player you need to keep tabs on!

At almost 2 kills per set, she adds to the sense of balance among their offense in 2020. She hit a solid .348, leading her team in hitting percentage as a freshman. This is no surprise because she has an explosive, quick armswing. She is also a team leader in total blocks while contributing nearly one block per set. #113 – Keep Williams – 2023 – 5'8 – Pin – The Prairie School - Epic One of the most impactful young athletes for The Prairie School, just a sophomore, Williams delivers the 2nd punch for the Hawks offense. She may be smaller than most BIG swings, but she elevates and has the ability to terminate with a fast swing down the line. She averaged nearly three kills per set in 2020 and, with her athleticism, she is on track to hitting the 10 ft line in no time.
